"What I want to do is, anyone who can give information to assist in the arrest of the suspects will receive GHC100,000 from me, because it’s my reputation on the line,” Mr. Agyapong said.

On social media, though, some Ghanaians who commented on the subject had different views.

One guy said: “When I was a child, I used to help my mother in search of her money which I stole in order to prevent her from accusing me. The sad and funny thing is that sometimes when she is alone, I would hear her saying to herself 'I know I will not see this money because the one whom I know had taken the money is seriously helping me to look for it. My smart moves worked and failed sometimes (mostly)..It is there that as a child you must understand it that, an okro plant may grow taller than the owner but that cannot prevents the owner from plugging the okro on it when s/he needs it.”

Another said: “After you have recklessly caused his death, you're shamelessly placing a ransom for what? Onukpa buulu.”
